Tunze Stream 3

Hi,

Is it possible to get the blue grates/flow deflector etc. in black at all? Outside the tank they look dark purple, but once in the tank they are the colour of the bright blue silicone buffers. I know this is the tunze blue but given that the pump is quite a large lump I would prefer it minimise its visual presence!

Thanks,

James

It is not, but generally speaking, these parts quickly become coralline encrusted and the color does not matter at that point.

That's a real shame. I have a black background and even though coralline will grow, it never truly covers all areas and tbh, needs a citric acid bath once in a while just to keep the coralline in check. I removed my Vortech's as they weren't effective on the rear wall but they had minimal visibility, but the Stream 3 while being a far better pump IMO, is just in your face. Will need to rethink...
